After 12 years of casting the most legendary show in esports with my best friend, tonight is my last GSL cast.
Maru fights for his 5th GSL vs RagnaroK who is in the finals for the first time after over 10 years as a progamer.
Every time I try to put this into words it seems so cheap. There's no way to describe what I feel or what he meant to me or how he impacted me. I am completely devastated. He was like a best friend and a brother.
After living and working in Korea for 14 years, I'll be making a change. Later this year I will be moving to Canada (PEI specifically). GSL Code S Season 3 will be my last tournament before leaving.
So sad that this day has come.
@afreecatvgame
has decided to end the
@afreecaTV_gl
English broadcast for ASL.
It was a great run of 10 seasons, and I'm sure it will continue to be a great show. I'll miss casting it with
@CallMeTasteless
greatly.
hey

I'd love to play. I may not have an army of 12 year olds watching me but that's because I play the hardest game ever made. I can't imagine a scenario where I, a StarCraft player, would lose to people who play Among Us and react to YouTube videos.
My 5 year old son just came in and was watching me practice wavedashing. He’s never played with a GC controller and asked if he could try. Instantly went claw grip.
I JUST NOTICED FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER 22 YEARS OF STARCRAFT THAT THERE IS A LITTLE MAN RIDING IN THE VULTURE
AHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T UNSEE IT PLEASE POUR ACID IN MY EYES
I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
I just assumed I would work with and be friends with him forever. Its incomprehensible that this could happen. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and to him. He didn't deserve this. It's so unfair
MELEE MOMENT
#8
: moky vs Cody Schwab
This Genesis 9 match between moky and Cody was definitely one of the highest-level Fox dittos in history. Let’s take a look at moky’s crucial recovery during a potential momentum-swing moment in game 4.
RTs appreciated ❤️🕺❤️
6 million people watching Fortnite
500k watching League
Played in and casted Corrupted Cup with ~1k watching, and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
We played and hung out together for probably 14 years or so. He was a great competitor. He succeeded massively in anything he put his mind to. He was brilliant and talented. I always felt that I had to work 5x as much to be as good as him.
Geoff was such a good person. He was always kind. He was full of character. He actually cared about things, and about what was right and what was wrong. There's no one I'd rather have worked with.
The time I spent with Geoff was amazing. The events with he, Nick and Sean were the most fun I've ever had working in my life. He was family and friend. I traveled the world with him. SC2 events just won't be the same without him there.
i only got to hang with him a couple of times a year, but he was always an awesome friend. words can't do justice to this loss. im so sorry
@GennaBain
. you will be missed
@Totalbiscuit
when will there be added shit-talking functionality on slippi? none of the current dialogue options really express how i'm feeling after wins or losses.
Scarlett won IEM PyeongChang a few days ago. Today, in less than 2 hours, she will be the first non-Korean to play in the GSL Code S ro16 since Naniwa. She goes up against INnoVation, Leenock and Zest. This is going to be good.
Last night, my Maltese dog of 7 years, Pippa, passed away. She was the best, sweetest, most well dispositioned dog I’ve ever known. I was so lucky to have had her.
I am now the proud owner of the hardest to achieve portrait in StarCraft: Remastered -- the Battle Cruiser.
5,000 Terran wins (Terran average game length is quite a bit longer than Zerg or Protoss).

I think that this is the best choice both for my family and for my career. I am very excited to be able to put more time into my stream and youtube, as well as work in North America and Europe more easily.
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask.
BISU RETURNS
THE GREATEST PROTOSS OF ALL TIME
ASL RETURNS
THE GREATEST TOURNY OF ALL TIME
TASTELESS RETURNS
THE GREATEST SIDEKICK OF ALL TIME
YOU RETURN
THE GREATEST FAN OF ALL TIME
@CallMeTasteless
and I will still be casting SC + other events together. ASL will remain the same. We have requested to bring GSL casts online, but ultimately that is AfreecaTV's choice.
Yesterday (after playing StarCraft 2 for over a decade...) I realised that the top of a Dark Shrine is actually three Templar faces with glowing eyes while it is researching.
Mind = Blown
My last stream in Korea will consist of me telling a bunch of stories from my 14 years out here.
I started brainstorming on the plane ride over, and here are some story prompts from just my first 2 years out here.
Any ideas/requests let me know!
if i jumped off of a 40 story building into a pile of eggs that started at lets say the 38th story:
A) would i make it all the way to the ground?
B) would i live?
C) if i died would it be due to drowning in the egg whites + yolks?
My kids are all getting into the Pokémon card game more and more.
I want to make a deck with only BUG Pokémon in it (it hopefully is pretty weak) to play against them with.
How do I go about doing this when I own 0 cards? Is there a website for something this specific?
do chess players ever get mad that all their chess boards are sold as "2 in 1"? as if an easy game like checkers should be associated with chess...
if so, i can relate. starcraft has the same problem with protoss.
just now
watching a TvP replay
my little boy walks in and starts watching. the terran player is blue. he says he wants to see the blue stuff.
i start looking at some dragoons. "noooo"
i look at another part of the protoss base. "noooo"
i go back to the terran base "Yeah!"

the wifeski had my kids answer questions about me for father's day. from my oldest:
My dad is happy when ___________
she answered "when he wins Starcraft games"
<3
(guess she doesnt watch my stream tho)
Tonight I will play SC2 Ladder on stream for the first time in years.
Last time I was active was 2017. Going in with no prep, playing Protoss. Should be a shit show.
See you there in 4 hours!

You’re sitting there thinking “oh I should tag Artosis in this stupid NFT drop”.
I’m gonna go ahead and ask you to go against your gut.
Thanks in advance.
Telling my taxi driver I came to Korea for starcraft and he tells me I better not be a protoss player... This guy is like 60+ now complaining about Protoss and Zerg, I think I found
